Will

Will by which Diogo Cirne, Provedor da Fazenda em Pernambuco, orders the executor of his will to buy a chapel in a church or convent of his choice. He establishes an entail with lands (casal) in Valores, Loures, properties (casais) in S. João dos Porqueiros, Sintra, houses in Tronco and in Rua dos Douradores, Lisboa, a farmstead (quinta) in Almada and lands (casal) in Alenquer, determining that Francisco Nunes de Ávila, its first administrator, must support the celebration of a daily perpetual mass for his soul in that chapel. The administrator would also be responsible for lighting a lamp every saturday, sunday and holy day of the year in that chapel; for giving, each year, 2 dowries of 60 000 réis to orphan girls and for donating, annually, 20 000 réis to Vitória Pereira, escrava índia, only during her lifetime. After her death, that sum of money would be delivered to the brotherhood of S. Bartolomeu of the church of S. Julião of Lisboa, whose officials would celebrate annual masses for Diogo Cirne's soul.
After Francisco Nunes de Ávila's death, the entail would be inherited by someone previously appointed by him.

Will

Will by which Francisco Nunes de Ávila, sacerdote, declared that he had bought the chapel of Jesus of the church of Nossa Senhora dos Mártires as it was requested by Diogo Cirne, the institutor of the entail he administrated. He had entailed to it a public debt instrument of 88 000 réis and lands (casal) in Monte do Coche, Almada. The testator determined that, after his death, Ana da Costa, his niece, would inherit the entail and pass it to her eldest son.
He also ordered that the entail established by his aunt, D. Maria Henriques, composed of a farmstead (quinta) in Pragal, which he had inherited, had to be administrated by the son of Ana Costa responsible for administrating Diogo Cirne's entail. The entail would be subsequently transmitted to one of his descendants.
